Duluth's historic Canal Park
Duluth's historic Canal Park is the perfect place to begin or end your drive along Lake Superior's scenic North Shore. Once an area of junkyards and abandoned warehouses, Canal Park has taken on new life in the past two decades as a focal point of Duluth's vibrant tourism industry. Ships from the Great Lakes and all over the world pass through the Duluth Ship Canal and under the city's landmark Aerial Lift Bridge as they enter or leave the harbor with loads of grain, coal, taconite, and other trade commodities. You can't get a better close-up view of these giant 'lakers' and 'salties' than from the walkway atop the Canal Park breakwater. The Lake Superior Maritime Visitors Center at the foot of the aerial bridge features information on the history of Lake Superior and the shipping activity of the Twin Ports.
